Chapter 754

"This is natural. After all, the equipment in our Song Dynasty has always been in short supply. It has always been mainly used to supply the imperial guards and border troops. As for the wing army, it mostly uses some weapons and equipment eliminated from the imperial guards and border troops."

"And my armor is even more in short supply in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, why were most of the armor we captured before winning consecutive victories? It was because many border soldiers could not even approve iron armor, and could only cover their bodies with leather armor." Zhe Keshi, who was beside him, explained to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a little confused. "But the wings that followed me to assist Shaanxi Road before, although there were not many iron armors, they were at least wearing leather armor..."

Zhong Shihe and Zhe Keshi looked at each other, and finally Zhe Keshi coughed twice before whispering to Wang Yang. "That's the wing army of Bianliang after all..."

Wang Yang suddenly patted his head. How could he forget this? It was also true that according to the court's good things, I wish I could gather them in Tokyo Bianliang, and the Song Dynasty liked to concentrate its main military forces around Bianliang.

The equipment of the Xiang army in the capital Bianliang is naturally much better than that of the various Xiang army, because the Xiang army in the capital is also called the Xiaoyu Xiang army. This title still comes from the Renzong period, which means to build low-cost elite troops according to the methods and training of the imperial guards.

However, in the end, the wing army in the capital claimed to be built with the wing army as a sample, but in fact, it was only similar in shape at most. But at least it looked like goods, equipment and other things must be neat. In addition, under the feet of the emperor, training was harder.

But in fact, their battle, haha... After Wang Yang arrived at Shaanxi Road, he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of these capital wing troops was probably not even able to defeat those brave and fierce local warriors in the northwest border.

But the fucking soldiers were equipped with neat armor. Now, most of the soldiers and the imperial guards have turned back to the capital Bianliang, and only Huanzhou where Mr. Su stayed. There are still 10,000 imperial guards and 10,000 troops left.

Wang Yang couldn't help but look sad. Even though 70,000 troops have been migrated from Yan, You and Hong, please note that one big problem is that there is no protective armor, and another huge problem is that the lack of long-range weapons.

On the battlefield, even if the defender who has a city as the backing, fighting with the enemy without the protection of armor is equivalent to a suicide act.

"Sir, are you..." Seeing Wang Yang's expression that looked extremely ugly at the moment, Master Zhong and Zhe Keshi couldn't help but look at each other, and Gao Shi, who also came with him, was also very confused.

Could it be that Lord Wang is worried that a large-scale war will happen soon in these three states? But this is impossible. Now, it is already very good to be able to protect yourself with the troops of Xixia. How can I have the spare energy to advance south to attack these three states?

Unless they are not even prepared to seek a desperate attempt, they will not even attempt to make a desperate attempt. However, this possibility will not happen, both Gao Shize and the officials present.

"How many Yuanyou crossbows and Divine Arm crossbows are there in Youzhou?" Wang Yang did not leave too much time for these people to think, and began to ask about various arms issues in Youzhou in detail.

The defenders in Youzhou City had a total of 2,000 divine arm crossbows, 5,000 Yuanyou crossbows, and 3,000 cavalry bows and more than 3,000 various stair bows. The total number of arrows, crossbows and arrows stored was 600,000.

Of course, there are weapons workshops, armored instruments and bows and crossbows in such important border towns to maintain daily consumption, and to facilitate repair of damaged armored instruments and weapons after the war comes. Of course, there are also necessary tools and arrows and crossbows to maintain a certain amount of consumption.

Although there are as many as 600,000 arrows, the problem is that this thing consumes absolutely no ordinary speed. When Zhe Keshi was guarding the Hongdezhai defense line, the more than 300,000 crossbow arrows and arrows he carried were only 100,000 in just a few days, which shows that the consumption of long-range weapons was extremely amazing.

Even if the defense of the fortress in Youzhou is far above the Hongdezhai defense line, if you want to rely on 600,000 long-range weapons for three months, it is simply a boast of being unrealistic and awesome.

But at least there is a large amount of bamboo and feathers stored in the city, and it is not a big problem to make the same number of crossbow arrows and arrows.

But the problem revolves around. With these more than 10,000 defenders alone to deal with the attacks of tens of thousands of enemy troops, they will inevitably lose one thing. However, these armored wing troops will inevitably suffer heavy losses and will greatly affect the morale of the army.

Before, Wang Yang was considering preparing to transfer 10,000 troops from Hongzhou to help garrison, but now it seems that more than 10,000 armor-free troops are like sending 10,000 lambs to slaughter.

No wonder in the Song Dynasty, the wing army generally did not have to go to the battlefield, but the problem is that the iron armor and even leather armor that were originally seized have been transported to various border guards.

In these three states, each state city will reserve at most no more than two thousand spare iron armor and leather armor, and the number is too small.

#####

"Sir, what are you worried about? Do you think with the current strength of Xixia, can you still raise a large army to attack?" After entering the city and entering the palace, Zhe Keshi couldn't help but ask again at this tasteless dinner.

The governor of Youzhou, Zhong Shihe, Gao Shize, and the governor of Youzhou, Tang Xun, Chengdu, looked at Wang Yang's sad face.

Wang Yang finally made a decision, even if he was ridiculed in the end, so what?

It is much better than finding ways to remedy things when something really happens. At least I remind you in advance, so it is better to make everyone prepare in their hearts.

After thinking it through, Wang Yang cleared his throat and bypassed the desk. He looked at the civil and military officials in the room and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, maybe it's Wang's concern, but maybe it's not Wang's self-indulgentness. There is one thing that I didn't want to say, but it's about the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the three states of the Song Dynasty. Even if this news may be biased, I think it's necessary to remind you..."

Fortunately, because the officials present trusted Wang Yang, a buddy, for his long-standing behavioral style and super abilities, they did not subconsciously think that Wang Yang was sensationalizing, but listened patiently, wondering if this old driver really had any discoveries.

"Wu Qilang, take out the things..." Wang Yang turned his head and tilted his head towards Wu Qilang. Wu Qilang untied the wooden box on his back and opened it, revealing a silk cloth with patterns inside, and then carefully spread it out on the ground inside the house.
